When I work BJ I almost never blow my whistle. Obvious exceptions are fair catches and timeout warnings but I have the wings blow on routine dead balls even if the play is long.
First 2 steps are almost always back. While sidelines need to be covered by someone in addition to the wing, don't leave 16 players for a wing on the opposite side of the field to be responsible for. Work with your R on that, depending on how often he goes to the sideline. If the R is strong right, you need to make sure you are on the sideline to your right on sweeps and short passes out of bounds.
I would get one of those long toss flags. You might have to launch one and you want it somewhere near the yardline of the foul, if possible.
Finally, whatever you do, don't look for ways to inject yourself in the game. If you have no flags, that's fine. I think my best games at BJ have included a couple without any penalties, or only a delay penalty. Don't run from them, but don't make something fit into a foul either.
